Chanel Is Going to Kenya!: January 2010

Hello Everyone!

It is quite possible that I may be embarking on a fantastic journey to Kenya come this March 28th. About this time last year I was introduced to an organization called Go and Do Kenya (GAD Kenya). It has been my dream for a very very long time to travel to Africa to lend myself to those that need help. I never knew where exactly, how, or when but I knew that it was something that I needed to experience. A longing that has not and will not go away until expressed. It is why I've been practicing Swahili for so long, it is why I've been aligned with the right people and at the right time. To have everything line up so perfectly and to deny the connections would be like denying a blessing. I knew from the moment I was given the name and the website (out of nowhere) it was up to me to let go of all fear and move forward. I'll have to write about it one day because it has been a fabulous journey so far. Hopefully it will continue come this March 28th when we venture to the village of Rionchogu to build a LIBRARY for the students. I say hopefully because as you can imagine this trip is VERY expensive. To help with the cost I have website dedicated to raising the funds that will allow me to go. I feel conflicted to ask anyone for donations in this poor economy but I do so because this is very special to me and it's for a good cause. And if you cannot make a donation, please SPREAD THE WORD. This organization has grown so much in the year that I've been involved that I know it will continue to be successful in helping out those in need. If I don't make it this year, that is okay. I know that I will make it eventually.
